Rock Parties At Swayze's Can Get Down 'N' Dirty

NAMES & FACES

June 27, 1994

Beware of invitations to Patrick Swayze's ranch. Swayze and his wife, Lisa Niemi, bought the ranch outside Los Angeles nine years ago. Affectionately known as Rancho Bizarro, it's still a work in progress and clearing weeds and brush can be an effort in creativity. ''Patrick had a couple of friends and one of my brothers over and they had these sabers out and they were slashing and parrying,'' Niemi said in the July issue of InStyle magazine. And who could forget the rock parties? ''It meant we got a bunch of people together and fed them and they picked up rocks,'' she said.
